Mikhail
An interesting bunch of shots.
#1 - like the bright foreground with those dark foreboding clouds in the background. Works well. My favourite of this group of shots.
#2 is good, but I think would have worked better without Taya in the shot.
#3 - I like the composition on this. Think this could hjave been stronger with a lower perspective.
#4 - Nicely done - looks like the wreck is floating in the waves
#9 - my second favourite shot. Has a nice feeling of isolation to it.

Thanks for detailed comments, Peter! Absolutely agree on #3 - it needs lower perspective and wider angle but I didn't want to change lenses often in all that sands  So, I took it with 24-120 at 24mm

My favourite is the tracks on the sand. If I did the shot I probably keep camera a little bit lower to catch more details. And I agree with stubbsy - the picture would look better with less amount of blue sky.

Hi Mikhail,
first and last ones are my picks. Not sure which one I like the most. I tried to do something like your last one(#9), first time I was there, but didn't come out as nice as this one.
Also the one with Taya is also very nice, having her in the picture does give a sense of the vastness of the place. If your could darken the sky a bit, it would be even better, imho,
Cheers,
Radar
